PolyTrack is a classic car race simulation game that requires the best of driving skills and imagination in the design of tracks. Players can race their customized vehicles on tracks they design themselves or take up tracks laid out by others in the community. Based on the idea of time race challenges, the virtue of this game also lies in accuracy and perfection that comes with repeated efforts.
PolyTrack Gameplay
The challenge in PolyTrack lies in racing the clock to get the fastest lap times possible. You can begin by working with pre-made tracks, which are useful in learning how your car reacts to the race tracks. As you feel comfortable, you are also able to create tracks using ramps, turns, jumps, and obstacles through the editor offered in the game. Racing becomes not just about speed but also learning how tracks are created to maximize speed. Players are also able to compare their times to official records, as well as compete with ghosted versions of their competitors and even themselves. The game promotes patience, repetition, and experimentation, regardless of the tracks, which include summer, winter, and desert tracks.
